I don't know if this is just an aussie game show but anyone heard of this?
It involves 26 briefcases and one contains $200,000 The rest carry other amounts from as little as 50 cents. You gotta choose one brief case then narrow it down to get different bank offers. You can back out at certain points of the game.
Is that in any other countries?
It has a particularly good host here makes it heaps interesting and exciting. The best gameshow in my opinion in Aus.

Well I live in Australia so i cant tell you if the show is on in any other countries,but i love it too! Its really exciting!

But whatabout the USA?

But whatabout the USA?

I'm not even sure yet. Will wait and see!;)

Did the USA version decided a host for DOND yet anybody?

Nope! "Deal or No Deal" will not be in the US version. The show is now being shown in an Austrailian version. There is no host for the US show, the host is in Austrailia not in the US.:)

Boy that's ashamed! I wish it was coming to the US!

But I'm guessing Jeff Foxworthy for Deal Or No Deal for the US version.

:lol: For once AUSTRALIA has something AMERICA doesn't have.

LIKE WHAT?!

But whatabout the USA?

I guess the show "Deal or No Deal" is on NBC right now since it was premiered a few days ago. It on in the US right now.:)

Yep, it just premiered in the US. The host is Howie Mandel. There are still 26 suitcases, but the money ranges from .01 cents to $1 million.

I watched it for a few days and I've enjoyed it. It seems like a pretty easy game to get some money, and it's interesting seeing people take the risks of losing all that money for some little amount. Definitely a show I wouldn't mind being on! :)

Ehh, I watched an episode and didn't really get hooked. It was ok and mildly entertaining... but since it wasn't challenging at all for the people to get the money, I kind of lost interest. I hear the show pulled NBC out of a viewing slump on Monday nights, though.[/SIZE]

More Deal or No Deal episodes are coming, shall we say, in March of 2006? :)

I saw the United States version and thought it was fair. Maybe because to me I have seen it before. Many years ago a game show hosted by Geoff Edwards probably in the late 1970's was very similar. Instead of briefcases it was pretty boxes with money inside. The show was I think was called Treasure Hunt. I prefer shows in which you learn something. Jeopardy, Millionare. THis deal or no deal show is just chance.

You are correct, the show was called Treasure Hunt.

In "Treasure Hunt", there were (as I recall) 30 surprise packages. One box contains a check for $25,000, so you have a 1 in 30 chance to find it. The other boxes contain almost anything, klunks were the prizes that were in the boxes that might contain a trinket for about or less than a dollar and you would want to avoid those. Or there might be smaller checks in various monetary amounts you may find and win. If the check was never found at the end of the show, the correct box is revealed and the check is placed in another box for the next show.

What makes 'Deal or No Deal' interesting is you don't answer any questions or perform stunts to win money. Luck and a sense of timing are key.
